The quick answer

Yes, Exist Is In-Network With Magellan

Exist is in-network with Magellan, and we check your Magellan mental health coverage for PHP, IOP, and outpatient care at our clinic in Laguna Beach. Send a member ID and date of birth, and we get back to you within one business day. Benefits vary by plan, so we tell you exactly what Magellan said before you decide anything.

On some plans, Magellan handles only the mental health side, so your card may show another name.

How We Check a Magellan Plan

Checking your Magellan benefits is free. With a member ID and a date of birth, we contact the plan and get back to you within one business day.

  1. A person seated on a low wooden bench in a cream plaster room, back to camera, facing a tall arched window with a mauve dusk sky and a thin line of sea.

    Reach Out

    Call, text, or leave a voicemail at (949) 670-9345, or send the form on our insurance page.

  2. A small closed dark leather wallet and a folded cream linen cloth on a walnut shelf beside a tall window, a dusk cove and a pale sun beyond.

    Member ID

    Send the member ID and date of birth from the card you have, and we ask whether Magellan manages the mental health benefit.

  3. A person standing in a wide shallow tide flat at low tide, back to camera, the wet sand mirroring a pale sun and a lilac sky.

    The Plan

    We ask how your plan covers PHP, IOP, and outpatient care at Exist.

  4. A small clay bowl and a sprig of dried coastal grass on a cream plaster windowsill, a dusk coastline and a pale sun through the window.

    Write Back

    Within one business day, we tell you what the plan said, and then you decide what to do next.

The Levels of Care We Ask Magellan About

Exist offers three levels of care from one clinic, and each one is a separate question for the plan. The Truth House is listed too, because insurance does not cover it and you should know that before you plan.

Talk to admissions

  1. PHP

    Partial hospitalization runs about six hours a day, Monday through Friday. We ask Magellan how your plan covers it.

    • Five days
    • Full day

  2. IOP

    Intensive outpatient runs about three hours a day, three to five days a week, and it is its own question for the plan.

    • About 3 hours
    • Same clinic

  3. Outpatient

    Outpatient 1:1 is therapy with one clinician, in person or virtual, when a full program is more than you need.

    • 1:1
    • In person or virtual

  4. Truth House

    Transitional housing in Laguna Canyon for people in Exist PHP or IOP. Insurance does not cover the house.
